...again paddled to the Navy Yard and on the return trip were given a half-mile brush. The Freshmen stole half a length at the start, but were not called back. The 1915 men rowed in splendid form, and the University eight had difficulty in overhauling them. At the finish the University boat was a quarter of a length in the lead...
...seconds with a favoring wind and tide. Coach Wray sent the crew across the starting line off Red Top about 5.30 o'clock, rowing a stroke of 28 to the minute. This was maintained until the last half-mile, when Newton raised it to 36 for a hard finish. For the first two miles the work of the men was a little below standard.

To win over the Columbia, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Yale crews entered and to finish two lengths ahead of its nearest rival, is a record of which the second eight may feel justly proud. To the members of the crew, and to Coach Wray and the men working with him, we extend our heartiest congratulations...
